This would have been a cool cover! I have lots of their live stuff from this era including a handmade set....not so good.

I did lots of outdoor work this week...

Summer is going out with a bang!

Brylcreem...A little dab will do ya!

August is a busy month for me!

Well, looks like we worked things out and I was asked to do a panel and appear at WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO August 22-25 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention center!

I will find out the date and time of the panel soon!

Looking forward to seeing all of my friends from Chicago and meeting some new friends too!   I will have lots of new things at my booth too!   I will post the location of the booth as soon as I find out!

The Real Banana Splits

 I have always been a big Banana Splits fan!  My living legend friend Jerry Eisenberg designed the characters at Hanna-Barbera and Sid & Marty Krofft made the costumes, but it was the great voice actors that really brought the characters to life with a wonderful personality!

 Paul Winchell gave the leader Fleegle a wonderfully, funny voice as he did his many other characters including Tigger.   

 Daws Butler brought Bingo to life in perhaps the funniest of the bunch!  They all had an over the top delivery!

 Drooper was a favorite of mine too!  I loved them all!   Melvin did such a wonderful job with Magilla Gorilla that Hanna-Barbera had to use him again for something and Drooper was a winner!

Snorky was a mute with a horn sounding off ala Harpo Marx.   I have The Banana Splits in Hocus Pocus Park on dvd and it is interesting to watch the Splits, both in live action and cel animation with their great voice counterparts, 

The issue with a small article on me is on NEWS STANDS Now! More to come in 2019!

Vicki!

Welcome Home, Captain. Can't wait to see you Sunday and Monday at #DragonCon2019, William Shatner.

It's kind of cool that he is doing Sunday and Monday!

Toppie! From Top Value Trading stamps! I always thought that it was cool to see Toppie in the bottom photo, back when George Harrison visited his sister in Illinois in 1963, before The Beatles invaded America! #toppie #topvaluestamps #thebeatles

My 3rd reunion with Wally and the Beav....and I never tire of it! Legends!

I posted this old pic of me on my Facebook music page and a ton of people responded, so thought I would share here! I still have that shirt and guitar!

My late friend Allen Swift, was the voice of Captain Cup Cake too! Hostess cup cake snack cakes were the thing! Besides doing all of the Monster voices and Felix Flankin in Rankin/Bass' Mad Monster Party, he did all of the voices in Diver Dan as well! His last appearance was in our Mad Monster Party documentary on the current blu ray and dvd! #allenswift #captaincupcake #madmonsterparty
